The current dataset only provides information about a single day, a weekday survey only and so can’t be used to calculate total yearly kilometres travelled for a household. A week-based approach would offer the possibility to consider the travel behavior in detail and make an extrapolation over a year possible.
Thanks for your enquiry. If you haven’t come across it before you may find the Tableau dashboard of HTS data useful at https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/qldtravelsurvey/viz/HouseholdTravelSurveyInteractiveReport-combinedv2019_3/QueenslandHouseholdTravelSurvey
Unfortunately this dashboard doesn’t contain the latest years of data, but it may still be useful to you. This survey is a survey of a single day, a weekday survey only, and of weekdays during school term and so can’t be used to calculate total yearly kilometres travelled for a household, but could be used as a lower bound if you extrapolated the survey day across all similar days in the year.
Could you please verify if the datasets named "Queensland" contain only the data from South East Queensland or if they include data from other regional areas as well?
The Queensland Houshold Travel Series covers the Greater Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Datasets covering other areas are listed separately. https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/?q=household+travel
Hello and thank you for your comment. The 460 actually refers to the number of minutes past 0400. You can find the time information in the R_TIME table to assist you. 460 = 11.40am.

Hi Admin,
could you please direct me the nomenclature of startime and arrtime?
What is mean by 460?
Is it 460/60=7.67 so it is 7:40 AM?
Thanks
